From the moment you see this little beast, you know you're dealing with a tool that offers no compromises whatsoever. From the 10mm metal chuck to the rubber overmoulding, to the REDLITHIUM-ION™ battery pack, you'll be proud to carry, use and abuse the M12BDD.

I was looking for a compact Drill/Driver to get into smaller spaces, as I had a job coming up...After looking around at all the drill drivers I kept coming back to this one. The feel, the power, and ergonomics were just too impressive. I love the metal chuck that I got with it.

I have used it for just about everything now. It is my go to drill now and the 18V sits in the case. With less weight, comfortable grip, and loads of power I don't really need anything else. I just love this piece of kit.

What's the Spec of the Milwaukee M12BDD Drill Driver?

The first thing that strikes you about the M12BDD out of the tough carry case is the sub-compact size of the thing, with a headlength of just 187mm, making it perfect for confined space work, such as inside kitchen cabinets etc.

The two-speed gear selectoris on top and offers you a range of 0-400rpm in gear 1 and 0-1500rpm in gear 2 via the variable speed trigger. The available torque is 30Nm across 18 torque positions, plus screw driver.

With a drill bit fitted to the 10mm metal chuck you have the capacity to drill holes up to 10mm into steel and 22mm into wood.

The power comes from the 12v REDLITHIUM-ION™ battery pack, which has the huge benefit of being part of Milwaukee's smart system called REDLINK™. This gives you the peace of mind of overload protection electronics in tool and battery pack, which delivers "best in class system durability".

REDLITHIUM-ION™ gives you:

2x more run time

20% more power

2x more battery life

operates better down to -20º than other lithium-ion battery platforms

The M12BDD is compatible with all of Milwaukee's famous M12 batteries. And the state of charge is clearly indicated on the tool via an LED light strip.

And talking LED lights, the M12BDD features a nice, bright job light at the front just beneath the chuck to make sure even the darkest work areas are illuminated for you.

When you need a drill driver that'll last all day, handle all the jobs you require it to while giving you the peace of mind that only a smart lithium-ion battery platform can, we reckon the M12BDD is the zero-compromise option you should be considering.
